The Housing Connect Front Door is the entry point for people to access housing support, from emergency accommodation to a long-term home. Although the Front Door service does not provide housing, it can assist clients to apply for social housing or maintain a private rental tenancy.
Anglicare Tasmania is funded by government to deliver the Housing Connect Front Door service statewide from July 2024.

Every quarter, Anglicare Tasmania publishes a snapshot of data from the last three months of operation, with the aim of:
Based on this information, the Snapshot report makes policy recommendations to improve the response to Tasmanians seeking housing support.
The first report published in October 2024, was titled ‘More Houses Needed’ and included some valuable information about the Housing Connect Front Door Service and Housing Connect 2.0.
Anglicare’s Housing Connect Front Door Service Quarterly Snapshot for June 2026 includes a review of the 2025/26 year.
1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026 was the second year of operation of the Housing Connect 2.0 model.
The report found that over the year, the Housing Connect Front Door responded to 52,273 enquiries, and over the year about half of all support periods involved people who had been homeless within the last 12 months.
During that time, the social housing register increased by 9.5% to 5655 applications and housing system indicators continued to deteriorate.
The report calls on governments to expand housing supply and to work to raise the rental vacancy rate towards a 3% target.
